HuntBars

A stack of bars (including Focus/CDs/Procs/Buffs) designed to help hunters optimize their DPS.

Description:

This is an addon that based on your current spec shows a frame with the most important abilities for this same spec. All information is shown as a bars that track these abilities. At some point (at procs mainly) bars may change the way they are tracking an ability (or even temporary change the ability they track) to inform you about important moments. The addon comes preconfigured and ready to use out-of-the-box but for those requiring higher degree of customization there are options to add custom bars that can track anything player sees fit, to rearrange bars order and amount or to remove any of the existing bars, including focus bar.

Focus bar is improved with a mark that shows the minimum amount needed for the active spec's main ability. This way the player can always prepare to have enough focus for when the ability is off cooldown. Focus bar color changes at the amount that one Arcane Shot can be fired and still enough focus will remain for spec's main ability. This optimizes DPS by showing what next shot should be the moments before main ability cooldown expires - one additional Arcane Shot if there will remain enough focus or wait for the main ability cooldown and use the ability.

Originally posted by Fuggle I've been looking for a simple focus tracking mod for a while and this is perfect.

But I won't want the cooldown tracking portion. I can't find any options within the mod to disable the cooldown bars, only to disable the focus bar.

Is it possible to do this?

Its in my "to do" list, but not first in the line. There are things i consider more important (like traps handling and some other abilities) that i want to do first when i have time and then will add stand-alone focus bar.

Edit: On a second thought i think i came with a really simple idea how to implement this in a decent way. If in reality it happens to work as i hope you may see this included very soon(tm).

Changing colors of the focus bar are almost done by the person that helps me with some of the options in the addon. They will be published hopefuly before the end of december but not 100% sure 'cos like everyone else right now we are more busy with exploring/learning new content than making addons .
The next thing is "extending extended mode" with more things to track (CC is the first that will be in).
Focus bars size, hide and swap bars are things that i have in mind but they are not first in the line 'cos these half size bars make it difficult to implement. And yes, if things go well (i continue to play hunter or don't decide that there are already to many options to play with) you will see bars swapping in extended mode first.
BTW things will not go very fast because this is my first addon and my RL have nothing to do with programing and im learning lua(and programing in general) on the go, only for the addon.

Firstly, thanks for a great mod. Can't wait for to see where you take this project and which new features you implement =)

Here are a few suggestions:
- Option to customise the different colours used by the Focus bar (I'm finding it difficult to discern between the red and orange currently used at a glance when in the middle of a fight)
- Option to adjust the size of the Focus bar independent of the rest of the bars in the main frame (ie: signature ability CD, ability stacks, etc)
- Option to show/hide specific ability bars in the main frames as well as their order (similar to what you have planned with abilities inside Extended Mode frame)
- Proposed new abilities for the Extended Mode frame
-- Intimidation duration & CD
-- Silencing Shot duration & CD
-- Scatter Shot duration & CD
-- Widow Venow duration
-- Wyvern Sting duration
-- Trap Primed duration & CD (all traps)
-- Trapped target duration (Freezing trap)
